Negotiation timing - before or after final exec call?
Got a verbal offer from a tech co (senior IC). Want to negotiate comp/leveling, but there’s a pending “final call” with C-suite that’s described as formality, not evaluation.
Should I:
(a) Negotiate now, before C-suite call
(b) Wait until after C-suite call but before written offer
(c) Doesn’t matter
Also - better to discuss with recruiter or hiring manager directly?
First time negotiating, no competing offers yet. Targeting 10-15% comp bump

No point negotiating before. Always wait for them to make an offer and then counter

I don’t see why you would negotiate before the final call. If you make a great impression on the call and they “must have you” then your negotiating leverage goes up. if you do it before it might sour the meet before it even begins.
